Lesson Overview

33.9 – Social Justice Burnout: How to Take Care of You: Caring deeply about injustice can wear you down emotionally. Burnout happens when passion turns into exhaustion from constant fighting and exposure to pain. Taking care of yourself is not selfish — it’s strategic. Rest, reflection, and community care make long-term activism possible. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and movements need people who last, not just those who start strong. Turn off social media when it drains you and connect with things that refill your spirit. Spend time with people who make you laugh and remind you of joy. Remember, rest fuels resilience; guilt drains it. Taking breaks doesn’t mean you’ve stopped caring — it means you’re preserving energy for the long road ahead. When you protect your mental health, your voice stays clear, steady, and capable of leading others through the noise.
